More gun control laws won't lessen violence

It is more than sorrowful that our country has to be faced with mentally deranged people who decide to kill innocent people, and now little children, because of mental illness.

I have a gun primarily so I can protect my family if one of these crazies breaks into my home at 3 a.m. with the intent of doing my family harm. When I applied with Middletown Township for a gun permit, I had to be investigated in multiple ways to abide by the current laws, which are numerous, prior to being issued a permit to purchase a handgun.

No one has the right to have my home address just because I have a legal gun permit. What exactly would this accomplish?

I would rather have the names and addresses of individuals who have criminal records involving guns. In this way, I can at least establish by percentages what is the chance of my home being invading by some local armed criminal.

You can print my name and address because I believe that any armed criminal would think twice about breaking into my home, as they would be faced with my twin brothers, whose names are Smith & Wesson. We do not need additional laws.
